Coffee Timer
Can tea be made from a coffee pot?
I want to get an electric tea pot on a timer for my dad since he wants to give up coffee, but although there are electric tea pots, none of them are set to timers. If you were to just pour the tea contents into the coffee filter, would it work in a coffee pot?
Yes, you can, but you probably don’t want to.
Tea is less forgiving than coffee. The amount of tea used, the time its brewed/steeped, and the temperature are all very important, much more so than with coffee.
If you do buy something for your Dad, make sure that it’s for tea only and not for coffee. If you try to brew most teas (especially high quality teas like green and oolong) in a coffee maker, the time and temperature will just ruin the tea (or make it so tannic that it will be undrinkable).
I don’t know if this is a good product, but it’s the sort of appliance you want to consider:
